Notably, the U.S. tandem of Meghan Kinney and Jillian Penner finished 12th with 88.5 points. The pair totaled 44.667 points in overall impression and 43.833 points in execution.

Russia elected not to compete in the free combination preliminary round. That left the door open for Spain's team of Clara Basiana, Alba Cabello, Ona Carbonell, Raquel Correll, Margalida Crespi, Fuentes, Thais Henriquez, Paula Klamburg, Gisela Moron and Irina Rodriguez to lead the early round with 97.5 points. The team combined 48.833 points from technical merit with 48.667 points for artistic impression as choreography came into play during the more freeform combination events.
